95. The fact that you asserted "it happens all the time"

While producing zero evidence was all I needed to dismiss your post. I mean, that's a pretty bold claim to make without evidence.

Tell you what. Show me it happens "all the time". For the sake of the argument, I'll be willing to concede the threshhold for "all the time" as say...10 times per year in the US. Do that and I'll concede you aren't full of it.
